The Lily of the West - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
When first I came to Louisville
Some pleasure there to find

A damsel there from Lexington
Was pleasing to my mind
Her rosy cheeks her ruby lips
Like arrows pierced my breast

And the name she bore was Flora

The Lily Of The West

I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure there to find

"But" she turned unto another man
Which sore distressed my mind
She robbed me of my liberty
Deprived me of my rest

Then go my lovely Flora
The Lily Of The West

"Way" down in yonder shady grove

A man of high degree

Conversing with my Flora there
It seemed so strange to me
And the answer that she gave to him
It sure did me oppress

I was betrayed by Flora

The Lily Of The West

I stepped up to my rival

My dagger in my hand
I seized him by the collar and
I boldly made him stand

Being mad to desperation
I pierced him in the breast

Then go" my lovely Flora

The Lily Of The West

"And" I had to stand my trial

I had to make my plea
They placed me in the criminal box
And then commenced on me

Although she swore my life away

Deprived me of my rest

Still love my faithless Flora

The Lily Of The West
